    “Clean your MAF!” - everyone

    100% Absolutely in my experience the 2003-2008 Corolla or Matrix and 2000-2005 Celica GTs absolutely benefit from cleaning a dirty MAF sensor, yes codes went away and the car absolutely drove better. Note: This experience is with 15+ vehicles, not 1 and even with perfect maintenance after...

    Valvoline Hybrid ATF Fluid at Advanced Auto Parts

    picked up 92 quarts (might buy more), the price is great at $1.45 + rewards and cashback from websites. I always prefer pan drops + removing the return line and running the car and using the transmission pump to remove 2 quarts and add 2 quarts until the fluid comes out red/new then verifying...

    Are All Rotors the Same?

    That's a good price but rear OEM rotor on that car are even higher quality (compared to Front vs Rear) then any after market you could buy. They serve a dual purpose as the inside of the rotor is used for the handbrake shoes. My Lexus vehicles use the same rotor as your mother's 2015 Toyota...
